Brief Description
The Second International Conference on Hydrology and Water Resources in Asia Pacific Region (APHW 2004) is to be held in Singapore from 5 to 7 July 2004, following the 1st conference held in last March in Kyoto. NILIM (National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management, Japan) session is also to be held during this conference as it was held in the last conference. At this session, we were able to share some lessons about water management histories and problems from the reports made by 12 representative of eleven countries. The aims of this second session include encouraging those countries to apply the lessons, as well as to share the information concerning the law and system about water management, and the realities of applying them.

It is hard for engineers who have different backgrounds to understand the intentions and the effects of laws and systems of other countries without having any basic information about their water management. Therefore, in organizing this session, we request especially those countries, which had attended the last session and shared information, to participate this session. By doing so, we can avoid unnecessary obstacles for the lessons to be applied, and discuss a further step that is more focused on the law and system, and the actual situation of its application. We do hope you would take advantage of this session to find clues for the solutions to the problems we are facing now by exchanging information from various regional cases.
